Question

I am migrating my site from PHP 4 to 5

I keep getting this error on the version 5 server:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected
‘;’ in /var/www/vhosts/****.php on
line 1688

I when I check the code its something like this:

<?=#something here being commented out?>

This worked fine in v4 but now its creating an Error. I really do not understand the error either because there is no ; in the entire line anywhere?

I can just delete the line but I am wondering why this error is happening in the first place and if there is something else I can do besides hunting down every occurrence of that?

Thanks!!

This:

<?=#something here being commented out?>

Translates into this:

<?php echo /*something here being commented out*/; ?>

You just have to fix the syntax I presume.
